Hmm, why not? If two different functions named <> are imported
via Monoid(..) and Semigroup(..), I don't think the compiler
will find that humorous. Are you going to use qualified operators?

Yes, I am also facing days of tedious work to dig out of this.
I would love to find automation opportunities, but I don't understand
how what you are suggesting can help. I'd also like to coordinate
and do things in a standard way as much as possible, to salvage
as much readability as we can.
